Welcome to the Computer Networks group!
The Computer Networks group conducts research and teaching activities focusing on networked systems of all kinds, ranging from large-scale cloud data centers to tiny low-power IoT devices. In the era of AI proliferation, networked systems have become critical infrastructures for supporting both the training of large AI models in GPU clusters and the deployment of AI inference systems in IoT. Our research covers mainly these cutting-edge topics.
For student research projects (BSc, MSc, WHB/SHK) please check this page.
Research
We focus our research on networked systems and we strive to create concepts and methods to make networked systems more efficient, scalable, usable, and sustainable. Our focus is on creating better programming tools, middleware, and protocols, leveraging the capabilities offered by emerging hardware. Our research has been generously supported by various funding sources including the German Research Foundation (DFG), the Dutch Research Council (NWO), Google Research, and Intel.
Teaching and Thesis
Our teaching is focused on networked systems. Our recent, current, and upcoming course offerings are listed below. Note that the upcoming ones are projections based on offerings in last year and may be subject to changes. We offer thesis projects at both bachelor and master levels continuously. Please check this page for currently offered thesis/project topics.
